These volunteers play a vital role in fostering the welcoming and caring environment that defines the Senior Center. In recognition of these invaluable contributions, the Senior Services Division hosts an annual Volunteer Appreciation Event. The event celebrates the efforts of volunteers and acknowledges their impact on the community at large. DISCUSSION: To enhance planning, coordination, and creative input for this important recognition event, staff recommends the creation of an Ad-Hoc Volunteer Appreciation Event Subcommittee for the 2026 event. The subcommittee’s primary purpose will be to: • Collaborate with staff on the event theme, activities, budget, and recognition methods. • Provide recommendations on event logistics, including date, location, entertainment, timeline, food, and awards. • Support outreach efforts to ensure volunteers are meaningfully acknowledged. Additionally, a clear planning timeline will need to be established to allow for sufficient time to secure contracts, make purchases, and finalize event details. Based on the needs outlined above, City staff is recommending the formation of an ad-hoc subcommittee comprised of no more than three board members to work collaboratively with staff to plan and implement the 2026 Volunteer Appreciation Event. The subcommittee will dissolve upon event completion. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact is associated with this report. Event expenses will be funded through the Senior Services Division’s existing program budget, or through sponsorships/fundraising. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve the formation of an ad-hoc subcommittee comprised of no more than three board members to work collaboratively with staff to create and implement a Volunteer Appreciation Event for 2026, and 2. Appoint up to three board members to serve on the subcommittee.
